Of course you can remove it -- just 'apt-get remove pulseaudio'. Sure, that
will prompt to remove the ubuntu-desktop meta-package, but that won't make a
lick of difference to your running system (it's a meta-package after all).
It will only come back to bite you when you decide to upgrade -> that's what
the ubuntu-desktop meta-package helps with.

An easy way to disable pulseaudio:

  touch ~/.pulse_a11y_nostart

(see /usr/bin/pulse-session, used by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio)
